Fast neutron sensitivities of Geiger-Mueller counter gamma dosemeters

The sensitivities to 4.2 and 5.5 MeV neutrons of different types of energy-compensated Geiger-Mueller counters used in mixed field dosimetry were measured using a field produced by the 2H(d, n)3He reaction with an isotropic gamma-dose component. Further results are presented on sensitivities to 14.7...

Further results are presented on sensitivities to 14.7 MeV neutrons.
